Important
• Let the dishes become cold before you remove them
from the appliance. Hot dishes can be easily dam-
aged.

Hints and tips

The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of minerals that can
cause damage to the appliance and bad washing re-
sults. The water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener clean and
in good conditions. It is important to set the right level of
the water softener. This makes sure that the water soft-
ener uses the correct quantity of dishwasher salt and
water.
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher.
Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to
dry the dishes without streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent, rinse aid
and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets
are applicable to the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the
products.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short pro-
grammes. To prevent detergent residues on the ta-
bleware, we recommend that you use the tablets with
long programmes.
Do not use more than the correct quantity of deter-
gent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples of the
load of the baskets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dish-
washer-safe.

Care and cleaning

Warning! Before maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
• First remove the items from the lower basket, then
from the upper basket.
• There can be water on the sides and on the door of
the appliance. Stainless steel becomes cool more
quickly than the dishes.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood,
horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb wa-
ter (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• To remove easily remaining burned food, soak pots
and pans in water before you put them in the appli-
ance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond to-
gether. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put the light items in the upper basket. Make sure
that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely be-
fore you start a programme.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type of load and
for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you
use combi detergent tablets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the
washing results.
Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.
